The Savannah Tribune VOL. XXVI. AN ARMY OFFICER KILLED BY MORO AN ARMY OFFICER KILLED BY MORO Lleutenant Walter H. Rodney the Victim. ASSASSIN USED DEADLY BOLO Juramentado Crazed With Religious Passion Runs Amuck Thirsting for Blood of a Christian Manila.—Lieut. Walter H. Rodney, of the Second United States Cavalry, stationed in the Augar barracks, in the Department of Mindanao, was murdered Monday by a Moro Juramentado, who, crazed with religious passion, ran amuck, thirsting for the blood of a Christian. The assassin belongs to the Mohammedan sect of Juramentados, who have taken an inviolable oath to shed the blood of the hated Christian. They know no fear, believing that the performance of what they consider a religious duty, if resulting in their own death, will be rewarded with eternal bliss. The fanatic was armed with a bolo, and as he tore through streets those who saw him fled in terror. He encountered Rodney seemingly by chance and struck him down before the officer could defend himself. Lieutenant Rodney was a native of California and, 32 years of age. He was appointed a second lieutenant in the First Cavalry some years ago and was made first lieutenant in the Second Cavalry on August 2 last. The Juramentados combine the performance of a religious duty with the patriotic satisfaction of killing their Christian enemies. Frequently they are debtors, who, by the laws of Sulta, when bankrupt, become, with their wives and children, the slaves of their creditor. He is taught that he can liberate his family from bondage only by the sacrifice of his own life for the murder of a Christian. The Panditas encourage him in his resolve and hold out visions of paradise, perpetual happiness and beautiful hours. When his religious fervor has become a frenzy the madman arms himself and blindly sets out to slay the first Christian he may overtake. POLO GROUNDS BURNED National League Park in New York Partly Destroved. New York.—The great double-deck grandstand and the right field bleachers at the National League Baseball Park were destroyed by fire Thursday morning, causing a loss estimated at $250,000. The clubhouse and the center and left field bleachers were saved and the fire, which started at 12.30 A. M. was under control two hours later. Originating from some unknown cause, the blaze sped with almost incredible swiftness, licking up first the double-decked grandstands and spreading then to the bleachers at the south and north; The grandstand was a crescent in shape and had been enlarged in the last two years so that it covered half the circumference of the ground and seated about 20,000 persons. ROOSEVELT HOME AGAIN Feels "Bully" After His Seven Weeks Tour In the West. New York.—Ex-President Roosgelt returned home Sunday from a seven-week tour of the West and Middle West. As he stepped off a train from Chicago he came into contact with a crowd of outgoing Eastern visitors, many of whom greeted him with cheers. Nearly 200 persons followed the Colonel to the carriage door, and many grasped his hand just as he jumped into an automobile to be whisked away to Oyster Bay. Colonel Roosevelt's face was tanned by the western suns and he said he felt "bully." GIRLS OFFERED FOR SALE Pitiful Stories of Suffering in Panic- Stricken China. Shanghai.-Pitiful stories of suffer- ing in the famine-stricken areas of China reach this city daily. Sixty girls were offered for sale at one small town without a purchaser, because the food the slaves eat was more valuable than their lives. Only death, therefore, awaits them. Heavy rains have partly re flooded the famine districts for the third time in two years, rendering extremely difficult the importation of grain for the relief of the starving thou- sands THE "DEATH CUP" (Copyright, 1911) Nation-Wide Fight Started to Abol Cup.—M THE FIRE FARM MATERIALS ON FREE LIST Bill to Make Canadian Reciprocity Easler--Both Measures Introduced. Washington, D. C.—Representative Oscar, W. Underwood, the Democratic leader, introduced the Canadian Reciprocity Bill, and another bill in the House authorizing changes in the tariff as a concession to agricultural interests which are bitterly opposed to the Canadian pact. The Underwood Bill bearing on Canadian trade is in all essentials drawn along precisely the lines of the McCall Bill which failed in the last session. In fact, the same language is used, only a few verbal changes appearing in the measure, both bills having been patterned after the agreement negotiated with Canada by President Taft. The farmers' bill, the second measure presented by Chairman Junderwood, places a hundred or more articles on the free list, including agricultural implements, leather goods, fence wire, meats, cereals, flour, lumber, sewing machines, salt and other articles. The complete list of articles to the free list follows: Plows, tooth and disc harrows, headers, harvesters, reapers, agricultural drills and planters, mowers, horse rakes, cultivators, threshing machines and cotton gins, farm wagons and farm carts and all other agricultural implements of any kind and description, whether specifically mentioned herein or not, whether in whole or in part, including repair parts. Bagging for cotton, gunny cloth and all similar fabrics, materials or coverings, suitable for covering and balling cotton, composed in whole or in part of jute, jute butts, hemp, flax, seg, Russian seg, New Zealand tow, Norwegian tow, aloe, mill waste, cotton tares, or any other materials or fibers suitable for covering cotton and burlaps and bags or sacks composed wholly or in part of jute or burlaps or other materials suitable for bagging or sacking agricultural products. Hoop or band iron or hoop or band steel, cut to lengths, punched or not punched or wholly or partly manufactured into hoops or ties, coated or not coated with paint or any other preparation, with or without buckles or fastenings, for baling cotton or any other commodity, and wire for baling hay, straw and other agricultural products. Grain, buff, split, rough and sole leather; band, bend or bolting leather; boots and shoes made wholly or in chief value of leather made from cattle hides and cattle skins of whatever weight, of cattle of the bovine species, including calfskins, and harness, saddles and saddlery, in sets or in parts, finished or unfinished, composed wholly or in chief value of leather, and leather cut, into shoe uppers or vamps or other forms suitable for conversion into manufactured articles. Found $10,000 In Old Stump Brunswick, Ga.—Four thousand dollars, thought to be part of the $10,000 stolen from a registered mail pouch between Tampa and Clearwater, Fla., on March 23, were taken from John Anderson, a negro, arrested here. Two weeks ago $4,180 was recovered in the yard of H. H. Horace, of Brookville, Fla. Horace says, he and Anderson found the $10,000 in a stump, into which a dog had chased a rabbit. Attends Own Funeral. Bristol, Tenn.—While a body supposed to be that of James Swecker, Civil War veteran, was being buried here, Swecker appeared on the scene and startled the mourners. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1911. lish the Germ-Laden Public Drinking News Item. THE INCOME TAX IS IN DOUBT Eighteen States Have Not Ratified Amendment. SHORT TIME LEFT FOR ACTION The Approaching End of Legislative Sessions Indicates Measure Will Fall For the Present. How the States Stand. Action of Legislatures on income tax amendment: Ratified ..... 28 Refected ..... 7 Measure pending ..... 9 Adjournment without action. 2 Total ..... 46 Necessary for ratification, 35. New York.—Favorable legislative action on the proposed income tax amendment to the Federal Constitution is lacking in 18 of the 46 States. The Legislatures of 28 States have ratified the measure, 7 have rejected it, 2 have adjourned without action and in 9 States the matter is still pending. In five of these favorable action is expected and in four the result is problematical. The figures are the result of a canvass of the various State capitols to determine the status of the proposed change in the Constitution. As the amendment does not become effective until ratified by three-fourths of the States, or 35, its adoption during the present sessions of the State Legislatures, now nearing adjournment, seems unlikely. The Proposed Amendment. The resolution, which was passed by the United States Senate, July 5, 1909, and by the House of Representatives July 12, 1909, provides for this addition to the Constitution: "Article 16.—The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." Of the nine Legislatures in which ratification of the proposed amendment is pending, that of Florida has referred the matter to committee without discussion; in Minnesota the House has acted favorably, and similar action by the Senate is predicted; at Albany neither house has acted this year; in Wisconsin the resolution has passed in the Assembly and awalts action in the Senate. A Game of Sec-Saw. Opposition to the amendment in Connecticut has blocked the resolution in committee. While advices from Hartford indicate that the House may approve, the result in the Senate is uncertain. The matter will come up in Massachusetts this week, and while favorable action in the House is expected, the prediction is made that the Senate will defeat the measure. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania the matter is still in committee. The Louisiana Legislature defeated the measure at last year's session. The new Legislature will convene in May, 1912, and the measure may then be passed. FIERGEST BATTLE OF WAR Dlaz and 1,600 Nationals Repulsed By 1,000 Revolu tionists. Agua Prleta, Mexico.—The most important battle of the Mexican revolution thus far was fought here Monday between 1,600 Federals, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Dlaz and 1,000 rebels under Balasario Garcia, and resulted in the repulse of the former. The battle, however, was not finally decisive. It lasted from 6.30 A.M. until sundown. At nightfall two Federal machine guns were in the possession of the rebels and the Federals had sustained a loss estimated by the rebels at not less than 200 killed and wounded. The rebels gave their own loss at 20. From the beginning of the battle, regardless of the warning given by the United States Government to the leaders of both forces, a rain of bullets poured into the American town of Douglas, and when the day was over it was found that seven noncombatant residents of that city had been wounded. It was a day almost of terror in Douglas. May Cross the Border. Washington, D. C.—President Taft replied to a message from Governor Richard E. Sloan, of Arizona, asking protection for citizens of Douglas from the fire of Federals and Insurrectos, that he was loath to endanger Americans in Mexico by taking so radical a step as sending American troops across the border to prevent further fighting. The President, in his telegram to the Governor, stated that the situation might justify him in ordering troops to cross the border. Garcia Surrenders to U. S. Douglas, Ariz.—Balasario Garcia, commander of the rebels at Agus Prieta, surrendered himself to Captain Gaujot, of the First United States Cavalry. He came to the line and explained that he was giving himself into the custody of the United States authorities as an individual and not as commander of the rebels. To Probe Mexican Situation. Washington, D. C.—Searching inquiry into the situation in Mexico is demanded in a resolution offered by Senator Stone, of Missouri. The resolution calls on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to undertake the investigation because of the danger to American and foreign lives and property. The resolution, at Senator Stone's request, was tabled. Its author intends to make a speech appealing for its immediate adoption. SORRY TO PART WITH HILL Views of Hjs Resignation at German Capital. Berlin.—The retirement from the German capitol of Dr. David Jayne Hill, whose resignation as ambassador of the United States to Germany, will become effective July 1, is regretted at the Foreign Office, where the relations between the government officials and Dr. Hill have been of the very best. It is felt here that Dr. Hill's tenure of the embassy has done much to further German-American friendship. FIVE DIE IN MOLTEN METAL Metal Splashed Upon Workmen Out of Container. Philadelphia. — Five workmen were killed, 2 were fatally injured and 12 seriously hurt at the Midvale Steel Works, at Wayne Junction, when a huge container, filled with molten steel, gave way, the flery liquid pouring or splashing over more than a score of the employees. Train Plunges Into Crowd Ellizabeth, N. J.—An eastbound express of the New Jersey Central Railroad plunged into a crowd about to board a standing local train here, killing three persons and injuring several others. Hoboes to Have Newspaper. St. Louis.—A newspaper to be published in the interests of the tramp is the latest fancy of the brain of Dr. James Eads How, the "millionaire tramp." Dr. How inherited his wealth from James Eads, who built the great Eads Bridge spanning the Mississippi river here. He is the apostle of the unemployed. Win Silent Ball Game. San Francisco, Cal.-The Waseda University baseball team, of Tokyo, Japan, easily defeated the Pacific Coast Alumni team of the same university, 18 to 0. The visiting Japanese team played an errorless game and made sixteen hits. The visitors went through the entire nine innings without making a sound, doing the coaching by signals. STAGE KILLING PROVES REAL Fete Organized by Mission Folk In a Chinese Village Has a Tragic Ending There was a tragic ending recently to a fete organized at a Chinese village in honor of the birthday of a member of the Southern Presbyterian mission. An amateur theatrical performance was one of the features of the fete, in the course of which Dr. Yang was to be killed by an assassin. The students had requested that the assassin's knife should be made of wood or tin, but Dr. Yang insisted that it should be the real thing. This was agreed to, but it was stipulated that he should wear a breastplate. As soon as he was stabbed he was to fall to the ground, whereupon a red liquid, prepared beforehand, was to flow from the wound. No one knows how it was that the doctor appeared on the stage without his cuirass. Certain it is that he did not put on the breastplate, and the assassin, Dr. Zennon, unaware of the omission, drove his knife into the doctor's heart. It was not until the interval that the discovery was made that the doctor was dead. Dr. Zennon, horror-stricken, gave himself up to the police. HOW TO BEHAVE IN SOCIETY You Must Not Act as If You Thought or Had Real Good Sense. Never appear absent-minded in company. To be absent-minded is indicative that the person is thinking, and society has no use for people who think. When dining at a private house, if you fold your napkin it indicates that you have no servants at home; if you do not fold it, it indicates that you have no sense. Most society people prefer the latter. When rising from your chair never touch the chair with your hands. It is unnatural not to guide or help yourself with your hands, but any thing that is unnatural and idiotic generally is good form. COSMOPOLITAN NEW YORK. New York is the most cosmopolitan city of the world. In point of fact, it is the second German town of the world. Berlin has a population of 2,000,000, Hamburg 730,000, Munich 520,000, and Dresden 500,000. The Germans in New York number 737,447 true Americans, infants and parents, born in America, and 639,000 German born. There are 595,210 Irish, and these outnumber their countrymen in Belfast. New York is a true Israelite metropolis with 672,776 Jews, for Warsaw has only 262,884 Hebrews in her midst. New York is, moreover, the fifth Swedish town, the sixth Norwegian, the seventh Italian, and the eighth Russian town from the point of view of population. DIET AND HEIGHT. Plutarch, in his life of Lycurgus, states that the tall figures of the Spartans were due to their spare diet. "For," says he to himself and all the rest of us, says he, "when the animal spirits are not too much oppressed by a great quantity of food, which stretches itself out in breadth and thickness, they mount up in their natural lightness, and the body easily and freely shoots up in height." Quite a fine compliment to the tall guy, but we will venture to say that Plutarch must have been over five foot eleven inches or he would never say that. VALUABLE MAN. "They tell me Gubbins thinks everything of that Swiss chauffeur of his." "Yes. There isn't an auto horn made that can match his vodling." A MISUNDERSTANDING. "Sir, this morning your son made an asservation—" "Bless that boy! He's always making some new kind of invention." --- NO. 82. CHAMP CLARK AND HIS NAME Next Speaker of the House of Representatives Was Really Christened "James Beauchamp." Long before he came into prominence as prospective speaker-elect of the house of representatives. Champ Clark became, as he has ever since, continued to be, one of the picturesque characters of Washington. It was a rare treat to sit down with him at one of the tiny tables of the lunchroom where the plebeian public are wont to dine and join him in digesting a piece of pumpkin pie (and be sure to call it "pungkin.") It seems to be more to the liking of Champ Clark to eat with "the common folks" than to take his place in the inner sanctum marked "Members Only." Mr. Clark's real Christian name is James Beauchamp, but there was such an abundance of James Clarks that he induced people to call him by his second name. Folks out Missouri way pronounce Beauchamp "Beecham" instead of "Bo-shom," which offended Mr. Clark's ear, so naturally and inevitably he became Champ Clark after his initiation to the field of politics.—National Magazine. HARD LUCK Mrs. Newpop—Uncle William has just lost all his fortune. Mr. Newpop—What a pity—and we just named the baby after him last week. ENEMIES OF MATRIMONY. Wedlock seems to be in a bad way in the mountains of the Dauphine. The confirmed bachelors of the country have decided to meet every month and toast celibacy. Invitations are sent out with the information, "Good feeding, good drinking, much laughter, much dancing." An added insult to matrimony is that the invitations have been sent to all spinsters who have "put on St. Katherine's cap," that is to say who are over twenty-five and are therefore presumed to be on the high road to old maidenhood. The confirmed bachelors announce their intention of eating, drinking, laughing and dancing with the old maids every month. But their very hardihood may be their undoing.—London Telegraph. ENGLISH SKYSCRAPER. Almost rivaling New York, there is now nearing completion at Liverpool a "sky scraper" 320 feet high. The new structure is a remarkable building. Including the twin turrets that form its apex, it has 16 stories, each of a generous depth. There are no fewer than 18 lifts in the building. The structure is built on the ferro-concrete principle and its foundations are some 60 feet below street level. It is to win distinction by having a clock larger than that of Westminster. There will be three faces on one turret and one face on another 300 feet away. Each face will have its separate motor to drive its 14 feet fingers. ONE OBJECTION. Our main objection to woman suffrage is that when the mistress and the cook both have the ballot there will be nobody to get dinner on election day.—Galveston News. THEIR KIND. "Royalties from popular songs are very soothing, in a way." "What way?" "Aren't they regular composing draughts?" AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Let us do something. We imagine we hear the cry coming up from those who are feeble and weak kneed, saying that we can do nothing. But let us urge you to bestir yourself and wake up and go to weaving for good. Our reason for saying weaving for good is simply this: the weaving is going on any how, either for weal or woe—hence let us weave for good. We have gone through woods—and beaten the bushes, and our humble effort at writing an editorial may not meet the approval of all of our readers, but we must just strike or say something that we know to be of interest to our people anywhere the opportunity presents itself. What about your weaving? Let us urge our women to weave better lives. Let us help them to see and understand their condition. And as another has said: "Let the savage Indians torture captives to death by the slow flaming fagot, but let civilized men respect the tenderness and love of confiding women. Torturing the opposite sex is double-distilled barbarity. Woman's love is her all. Hence let us advise the woman not to recklessly throw away their only arm of defense. Let us strive to select the very best material for the web and woof of our lives. There is a work for each one of us to do. There are burdens that we can lift from the shoulders of others. If we would weave properly and to the advantage of others—or of our fellow man—we would select the proper material out of which to form the web and wool of our lives. The negro must weave, if he does not he will be wove into nothing. Calamities of different kinds have been visiting our communities, but our blessed Master has allowed us to go ahead and weave on. What about our work? What about our weaving? Is the web and wool strong? Are the threads constantly breaking? Each thread in the web and wool of our lives must be looked after very carefully. We are told, and very truthfully, too, that a chain is not any stronger than the weakest link in it. The same holds true with us as people or race. The weakest among us has strength enough to keep the strongest among us down. Yes, the very weakest can get the very strongest down. The very weakest among us can manage to keep the very strongest down after succeeding in getting them down. Hence, we can very readily see the necessity of looking after every thread in the web and woof of our lives. When a thread breaks it consumes a whole lot of time. It must be found and tied. If it is not looked after it will cause a flaw in the cloth and thereby depreciate the value of the same. We, as a race, will not stop long enough to catch up the broken threads and tie them. I am strong and all right, consequently I don't care anything about that weak thread. Let it break, I have no time to stop and look for the ends. I care nothing about them. They cannot even impede my progress, saying nothing about hindering me. What a terrible mistake! Let us beg you to open your eyes and catch up the broken threads in the great web and woof of life. May the God of all the living aid us and give us courage to go forward and urge men and women everywhere to select the very best material out of which to construct the web and woof of their lives. Wake up the indolent. Wake up the careless, and let them see to it that the web and woof of their lives are woven out of the very best material obtainable. With the above end in view let each one of us continue to strive and God will bless all of our efforts. The Chicago Journal says: "Colored people of Atlanta were called upon, a short time ago, to raise $40,000 toward a fund for the building of a home for their Young Men's Christian association. In ten days they secured $67,000! And an Atlanta paper says, 'They are still subscribing.' "At the same time a movement was on foot to raise funds for the white association. While the amount required was much larger than for the plans of the negroes, the paper quoted says: 'The ratio between the white and negro subscribers in proportion to population, is about three to one, with the predominance in favor of the negroes.' Commenting on the situation, the Atlanta paper says: "Is it not well for Atlanta, for Georgia, for the south, to analyze the lesson of the achievement of the negroes in the Young Men's Christian association campaign? It shows that it pays to help make decent, law-abiding citizens of the negro, instead of taking it for granted that the whites must be taxed to treat them as criminals.' "In such experiences and such comments are seen better prospects for the colored race of the whole south." It was discovered through the accidental killing of one of its members that a prominent family of New Orleans had a remote strain of African blood and that therefore under the law they were "colored." with all the palms and penalties the Louisiana code inflicts. A daughter had been happily married, but her husband was compelled to repudiate her, because under the law she was merely his concubine, not his wife. A son was forced to leave a white school, and he cannot enter any other in the state except one of those for negroes. Neither they nor their friends had ever known until the accidental disclosure that there was any negro blood in their veins. The negroes in the country, chiefly at the south, have increased from four to ten millions. Of this number 40,000 own their homes and 750,000 are farmers, owning 23,000 square miles of land. In the whole country they are assessed as owning $500,000,000 worth of property. Some towns in the south are inhabited solely by negroes. They have 45 banks in the United States, and in the south there are 30,000 negro teachers with an enrollment of 2,000,000 school children. Every negro in this country is proud of the above showing and the better element of negroes has decided to become an important factor in the development of this southland. Oscar W. Sturkey, six feet nine inches high and known as the Florida Hercules, is now in training at Jacksonville in the hope of defeating Jack Johnson. He is a perfect specimen of physical manhood, as his measurements would indicate. Sturkey's ambition is to be known as the conqueror of Johnson, and he will bend every effort during the coming two years to get into condition. His father is a rich turpentine farm owner. Oscar has been for the greater part of his life a hard worker out of doors, which is said to account for his physical perfection.—Washington Herald. There never was a wiser saying than that an idle brain is the devil's workshop. There are entirely too many idle black boys in almost every community. We ought to see to it that our boys and girls be kept employed. When not in school they ought to be at work of some kind of other. All work is honorable. It is always more honorable to do some kind of work than to do no kind of work. Our jails and prison houses are filled with those who loath work -Attanta Truth. Wise people don't hesitate to solicit the influence of a good newspaper. This is an age of extensive advertising.

Get wise and advertise.—Western Star. Pastor A. D. Roan of a Baptist church in Pine Bluff, Ark., cut Deacon Jenkins' throat from ear to ear because the latter accused him of making away with Sunday school funds.

WASHINGTON COMMENT OF NEGRO PRESS ON WASHINGTON INCIDENT WHITE NEWSPAPERS EXPRESS CONFIDENCE IN WASHINGTON The efforts of Doctor Washington's enemies have embraced everything that could be imagined from being a self-appointed betrayer of the American Negro to the worse type of political demagogue, but hitherto there has been a united regard for the moral purity of the man and uniform testimony to his unselfish participation in the affairs of the race and nation. Character and reputation which have stood the test of a quarter of a century cannot now be debased by slander so palpable and evident as to cause a smile. We reaffirm our confidence in the peerless character of our leader of leaders.—Durham (N. C.) Reformer. Good Out of Evil. Happily for the negro race, the incident goes to show the distinct classification of the white man in this country. The offcourings hastened to magnify the affair and brand Mr. Washington as a "peeping Tom;" the other class, whose creation God is not ashamed of, hastened to the rescue of the accused, and put their names and money as his disposal. We deeply regret that Mr. Washington had to be humiliated as he was by his inferiors, we must admire him for his gentlemanly demeanor under such trying circumstances. Meanwhile we shall watch the outcome of the case—Pittsburgh Courler. Not a Moment's Doubt Even with the first distorted reports published, confidence in the man was so strong and reliance upon his honor so firm, that no man or woman, white or black, who has a knowledge of the man and his work, of his purity and simplicity, for a moment doubted the attack was brutal and absolutely unjustified. The Bee extends Dr. Washington its sympathy, again assures him of its confidence in him, both as a leader and a man, and hopes for a quick recovery from the wounds at the hands of a brutal assailant. — The Washington Bee. No Occasion for Assault. In the opinion of all reasonable people this attack was hasty, outrageous and unjustifiable. This man could readily have found out who Washington was and what was his mission by the briefest conversation with him. He was guilty of doing nothing more than many a man is doing every day in large cities, that is, trying to locate some one by scrutinizing the names on the doorplates, and it is usually the part of politeness and civility to assist a person in that task, rather than to Greatest of His Race The founder and head of the Tuskegee shool has earned recognition the world over as the greatest man of his race. What he has accomplished in building up capacity and character among the colored people of the south has earned the respect of thousands of that section's most haughty critics of the Negro. His worst enemies, if any enemies he has, would not have wished for him a mishap so humiliating as that which has befallen him.-The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Holding Up His Hands. President Taft was right and manly in going to the assistance of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Manly because Washington represents the under dog fly at him with a club in hand.—Charleston (S. C.) Reporter. A Man of Broad Charity. The fact that Dr. Washington decided not to enter a more serious charge against his assailant than simple assault is an indication of his broad charity as well as the insignificance and worthlessness of his assailant, who was a white man. The incident was a very unfortunate one, and while it cannot be viewed from a sectional standpoint, it goes to show that the average northern white man, if the man Ulrich is a fair average, is as much affected with racial prejudice as the average southern white man. Norfolk Journal and Globe. Emphasize Hls Hold. The happening will result in good to Dr. Washington to the extent of emphasizing the hold he has upon the people, regardless of race or color, in this country. It also shows the value of correct and upright living. The damaging reports sent out were discounted long before his denials had reached the ears of his friends and the public. There could be no question of veracity between the two parties, for Washington's statements would have been taken at their face value.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Push the Case. The prompt and hearty manner in which his friends, both white and colored, came to his aid, showed conclusively that they had and still have the utmost confidence in his integrity. To have come to any other conclusion would have been to destroy all confidence in humanity in general and the Negro in particular.—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. Work Remains Unimpalred. We are thankful the American sense of fair play has not become obsolete and that even a Negro is entitled to be heard before he is adjudged guilty. God still reigns and the work of Washington remains unimpaired by the concatenation of fortuitous circumstances which darkened his pathway last Sunday evening.-Indianapolis World. A Lesson for All Those who are familiar with Mr. Washington laugh at the idea of his speaking to an entire stranger, for he is most retiring in his make up, seldom speaking an anyone. Perhaps even Mr. Washington will in future be less op timistle about the omnipotence of good manners.—Mobile Press. EXPRESS NCE IN WASHINGTON in the races, and right because any man contributing as much as he is to solving the very serious race problem that confronts the country, especially the south, should have his hands upheld whenever possible, and should be given the benefit of doubt in attacks on him and his character. The world needs and needs badly all its intelligent and royal workers. They are the world's best assets and should be defended and not attacked—Memphis News-Scimitar. Just Suppose Just suppose Booker Washington had been assaulted in a southern apartment house! The Northern press would have ripped us up the back and tern us through the middle.—Memphis Commercial-Appeal. MANLINESS VERSUS PREJUDICE Address of Rabbi Max Heller of New Orleans to Colored Audience. Rabbl Max Heller of New Orleans delivered a masterly address last month to a colored audience in that city on "Manliness versus Prejudice", and which address was published in full in the Southwestern Advocate. Below we give some extracts from that address and, like the editor of the Advocate, we wish it could be by every Negro in this country: "The victim of prejudice is often foolishly advised to strive for gentle manliness, to mend his manners; to my mind, the far greater need under the sting of prejudice is for the highest manhood, for that moral courage which is not cowed by majorities, not bullied by tyrannies, which contempt can not degrade nor injustice pervert or demoralize. The first duty of the genuine man, to my mind, is not to whine, but to act. One rubble harm that prejudice may do is to create a chronic sense of wrong which gives rise to an exaggerated, morbid sensitiveness. The victim of prejudice, if he be a weakling, is only too apt to ascribe every inconvenience and every failure to that source, to become thin-skinned or defiant, to lose his clear, unbased judgment, to fall a victim to the mania of persecution. He minimizes the abundant good will that surrounds him on all hands; he becomes a sore-head, plagued with suspicions, laboring, complains, whose injured vanity, whose smarting wounds obstruct his usefulness by threatening to crowd out every other consideration. To brood over one's wrongs is to fall into one of the worst of mental diseases, a disease which does more than simply put an ashen pall over God's fair sky, which harms us most of all by making us pity ourselves, coddle our injuries, bristle up against mankind, by robbing us of the two greatest things there are in the world—of the love of man and the joy in service. From the very first, let not the consciousness of prejudice blear our sight and envenom our hearts; let us fight with ourselves to preserve our moral balance, our sense of proportion, our objective, unbiased judgment, our wholesome instincts of fellowship; don't let the little cloud on the sunlit horizon be magnified by the jaundiced eyes of fear and sensitiveness, until, to the morbid fancy, it overcasts the sky and eclipses the sunlight. This twentieth-century age of ours, let us remember, abounds with opportunity as never did any age before it. It is the weak man only who is crushed by obstacles, the strong is nerved and braced by every opposition that seeks to bar his road. There lives, in our very day, a race which is demonstrating by its struggles the fact that merit will rise, under no matter what weights of injustice. The Russian Jew is handicapped by a thousand oppressive laws; penned into a congested pale, crushed by taxation, forbidden the free exercise of his religion, kept out of any number of professions and livelihoods, denied almost completely the privileges of education, robbed of political rights, and yet he manages, even under these adverse conditions, to rise to high rank in commerce and industry, in science and literature, as musician, painter and sculptor; because, after all is sald, the air of this twentieth century, so teams with opportunity, our modern world is so wide and yet so interwined, the boon of education has become, through the press, so easy of attainment, that it is today all but impossible to stifle genuine ambition, to shut off all avenue to advancement. To my mind, the first answer of manliness to prejudice is usefulness, is honest service. No prejudice in the world can keep a race from demonstrating its value in the economy of God's house; just as a man's most effective answer to injustice is to live it down by his work and worth, even so a race unjustly condemned has this appeal to the Supreme Court of History, that it makes its contribution to man's steady advancement as solid and valuable as it can. Do not, pray, misunderstand me, as if I were calling upon you to give birth to great poets, scientists, inventors, or artists; but simply to recognize the fact that opportunities for solid usefulness abound for you as for all; that it is the honesty and thoroughness of your work, be it ever so humble, that will speak for you; that prejudice must spur a man to exertion, not daunt him into a morbid habit of rebellion and complaint. "Work is the first law of social ethics, the cornerstone of manliness; justice, even against ourselves, ranks, perhaps, next in importance. The true man, under attack, must first set his house in order. The retort of conscious guilt is: you are another; the first thought of sincerity is to be in the right, rather than to have the best of the argument. I have yet to see any prevailing prejudice, be it ever so unjust, that has not some foundation; we may convict it of gross exaggeration, of patent one-idealness, but we owe it to ourselves, to the strength of our cause, to examine ourselves, to know exactly how far we are giving cause, supplying fuel to prejudice. No race, of course, can be free from folles, but just as the individual must ever strive to rid himself of those weaknesses and those vices which stand in the way of his usefulness to society, so must the race become aware of whatever just complaints the world advance against it and must go to work earnestly to remedy them. I say the race, rather than the individual, advisely, for the very injustice which lumps the individuals in the mass and condemns each of them unheard for what is supposed to be the general foible, that very injustice must arouse a sense of solidarity by which each individual accepts responsibility for all the others. But that sense of common interest must not be turned to the protection of the wrongdoer, to a conspiracy of screening and hiding the miscreant; quite to the contrary, it should give rise to a determination, sternly and consistently, to remove the evil out of one's midst. Injustice always recolls upon its perpetrator and harms him more than it does his victim; the habit of injustice is far more demoralizing and degrading than the suffering from injustice, yet it must be admitted that in minds of the lower order there is always a danger that tyranny will breed cunning and prejudice only tend to confirm and make stubborn the very things that may have called it forth. "There is an opposite danger that lurks in prejudice and threatens the self-respect of a race, and that is the mistake of capitulating utterly to the attack, of accepting the enemy's condemnation with all its injustice, and all its exaggerations. Just as in the relationship between individuals there is the man that will not accept a particle of reproof under any circumstances, the stiff-necked temperament that can never find itself in the wrong, while there is, one the other hand, the opposite disposition that pleads guilty to everything and lands in the despair of self-contempt, so it is in the life of a people, a race. "Under the lash of prejudice the man must fight for his self-respect; injustice to your own, understimation of those to whom you belong may spring from the over-strained effort to be just against yourself; often, however, it is a symptom of wounded vanity of the helpless selfishness that rebels against the conditions amid which it was reared, of the disloyal vulgarity that despises its cradle. A race must degenerate and perish, once it loses its belief in itself. In the education of every race room must be made for teaching its noble traditions, for fostering its historic pride; the Negro child ought to know all that the Negro has done for this country; the part that Crispus, Attucks played as a leader in the Boston massacre; how invaluable Negro labor has been to the development of the south; how faithful the slave was to his master, even in such perplexing days as those in the Civil war; how much of progress, along all lines, the race has made in the few years since its deliverance; what honored names it had contributed to our civilization. The Negro child ought to be taught to cherish every fine instinct that nature has implanted into the race, its genuine warm religiousness, its love of music; every member of the race ought to be made to feel, from earliest childhood, as against every misrepresentation of caricature and gossip, that there is something in the Negro type that is worth preserving that will repay unfolding. You have a right, and a duty, to confront the injustice of prejudice with the legitimate prepossessions of a strengthened loyalty. "Lastly, there is a highest manliness under prejudice; that exalted manhood which rises under its burdens to an ever higher stature. Instead of being crushed under the weight of injustice it learns the loftest lessons of fairness and humanity out of its own impressive experience." Sleep and Let Sleen- It was in the small hours of a muggy morning. From a seat near the Mudham docks where he had spent the night, Pat watched the Merely Mary Ann as she loomed out of the fog. "Want a job?" asked the foreman, suddenly appearing. "Shure, it's only six o'clock," complained Pat. "Never mind that," retorted the foreman. "We want a man to help us unload that ship." "What's the cargo?" asked Pat. "Sleepers," said the foreman, shortly. "Sleepers, bedad!" exclaimed Pat, with his fingers to his lips. "Shure, didn't Ol tell yer it was too soon to start work?

Give some one else's chance!" The Beggar Maid By Annie Hinrichsen "I adore cows and I intend to devote my life to them." "To cows?" He stared at her, his understanding dulled by amazement. "Cows," she repeated. "Thoroughbreds. I shall open a dairy at Heathe Hall." "Why, Edith, you can't. You must not—You—" "I can, I must and I shall. The settlement of father's estate has left me nothing but Heathe Hall. It is a dilapidated old house with a few acres of blue grass pasture. Cows, then, shall be my career." Joab Coates had contemplated a lengthy explanation of excellent reasons for building the new branch through the Heathe Hall farm. Perry McCune, in defiance of the commands of the owner of Heathe Hall dairy to let her affairs alone, had risen to argue the rights of his unappreciative client. The door opened and a young woman entered. For a moment she stood, hesitating near the door. She was very pretty and she looked frightened. "Mr. Chairman," she asked, "may "You'll marry me. I'll remodel the hall and we'll use it as a summer home. A few thousands will make it quite habitable." "Oh," she answered indifferently, "I don't care to marry you, not even as a means of support. I know that you are the richest man in the county. But as a business proposition I prefer—cows. But, Perry," she added, "you may, if you like, be my attorney, the attorney for the dairy. Every thriving, successful business needs an attorney." "Your attorney's advice to you is to drop this nonsenseical talk and marry him." Several weeks later the proprietor of the Heathe Hall dairy came to the office of her attorney. "It's Joab Coates," she declared bitterly. "He has arranged to ruin my business because my dairy is a great deal better than his and is getting his trade. He wrote me, when I beat him on the city hospital contract, that I should soon find myself without a dairy." "You beat Joab Coates on the hospital contract? How did you do it?" "I went before the hospital purchasing board, which for years has A woman stands on a bookshelf, holding a book and a suitcase, while a man sits in a chair, looking up at her. "As a Business Proposition, I prefer Cows." bought large quantities of milk from Joab Coates, and asked them to let the contract by bids. They agreed and I won. Now he is trying to ruin my business." "He is a heavy stockholder in the Capital Electric railway and' he has convinced the company that its new branch line must go through my land, parallel my beautiful brook, where my darling thoroughbreds drink, and spoil my farm! If the line goes through my land, taking my brook' away from me, I shall have nothing left but my broken-down old house and a herd of pastureless cows." "If Joab Coates wants the line to go through your land it will go. He controls the company and he has sufficient influence with the courts to have your land condemned and sold. The wisest thing for you to do is to sell at a good price. I'll manage the sale for you and get the highest possible price out of the company. I'm sorry, little girl, for your disappointment and the failure of your enterprise. But a woman cannot expect to compete with—" "A woman can," she retorted. "She can do anything a man can and this woman will. You'll not manage the sale for me. There will be no sale. I shall continue to run my dairy and run it without any man's assistance." The board of directors of the Capital Electric company was in session. "I intend not to do it." "What is he doing?" Joab Coates had contemplated a lengthy explanation of excellent reasons for building the new branch through the Heathe Hall farm. Perry McCune, in defiance of the commands of the owner of Heathe Hall dairy to let her affairs alone, had risen to argue the rights of his unappreciative client. The door opened and a young woman entered. For a moment she stood, hesitating near the door. She was very pretty and she looked frightened. "Mr. Chairman," she asked, "may I speak in this meeting? I am Edith Ellston, owner of the Heathe Hall dairy." The chairman, a white-haired man of sixty, smiled assuringly. "Certainly you may speak in this meeting," he decreed. "Come up hers and sit down with us and tell us why you don't want the company to buy your land." As she walked up the room Joab Coates' eyes followed her wonderingly. She sat down near the chairman and smiled with frank embarrassment at the directors. She did not glance at Perry McCune. In the big leather chair she looked very small and very young. "Mr. Chairman," Joab Coates was on his feet. He was a middle-aged man, tall and thin, with a hard mouth and merry eyes. "Before Miss Ellston speaks I want to say something more. I'm ready to change my mind about splittin' up the Heathe Hall farm. I don't make no fight on a little curly-headed pretty girl who's tryin' to make her livin' out of cows. I thought she was a cross-tempered, sour, ugly old maid, judgin' her that way just because she beat me on a contract. If she wants to keep her land and run the best dairy in the county I'm ready to help her. Our line will take somebody else's land." The board broke into a chor of laughter and applause. For the first time Edith Ellston looked at Perry McCune. He was neither smiling nor applauding. In his eyes was a look that made her own soften and brought to her lips a sudden, new gentleness. "Mr. Coates," she said when she could be heard, "I came here to fight for my dairy. But—but now—now I, too, have changed my mind. I am willing to sell my land to the company and my thoroughbreds to you, if you want them. I have decided to go out of business. The hall I shall remodel and use for a summer home." "You made a good bargain with the company for your land and with Coates for your cows," remarked Perry McCune as they left the directors' room. "May I inquire, as your attorney, what you propose to do next?" "Marry you." "What?" "That is my intention." She stopped and faced him. They were alone in the corridor of the office building. "I have always wanted to marry you, Perry. I loved you before my father's failure and death. But you did not ask me then to marry you. You waited till I was in trouble and then you said: "Beggar maid, your king deigns to honor you with permission to serve him as his wife." "If you did not use those words you used that meaning. You did not say, 'Marry me, because I love you and want you.' Your attitude shocked from me, I believed, all my love for you and all the hopes I had had that our life together might be a tender, beautiful, perfect thing. "But today you realized that the beggar maid was entirely capable of becoming a successful business woman. You acknowledged, without words, when the directors were applauding Joab Coates' change of mind, that the beggar maid had succeeded and that you didn't really mean to be superior or to flaunt your money. And because of what I saw in your eyes and understood, I am willing to give up my cows—don't, Perry, dear! You must not kiss me—I mean you must not here—in this public place."

The Farm HOW TO GET RID OF THE CATTLE TICK There Are Two Plans, the Clearing of the Pastures and the Killing of All Ticks on the Cattle-How to Go About Each Method. TAIT BUTLER. The methods used in eradicating the cattle tick from a pasture are simple and easily understood in the light of the facts already given regarding their habits and life history. The task to be accomplished is simply to prevent ticks maturing on cattle, horses and mules and dropping off these animals in the pasture. Since neither the young nor old ticks crawl far and practically infest no other animals but cattle, horses and mules, the pastures will not be reinfested when once cleared, except where ticks are carried back on to them by cattle, horses or mules. The one other important fact to be kept in mind is that when no ticks are allowed to drop in a pasture from May 1 to September 1, or from September 1 to May 1, the ticks infesting the pasture will all die of starvation. Therefore the first plan for tick eradication which naturally suggests itself is to remove all cattle, horses and mules from a pasture from May 1 to September 1, or from September 1 to May 1. The latter period is twice as long as the first, but includes a season of the year which yields the least pasturage. To take the cattle out of the pasture during one of these periods is the cheapest, easiest, safest and by every and all means the best method of eradicating ticks. This is proved by experience, and by a simple calculation of the cost. The method has proved successful in thousands of cases and is so simple and economical that it is remarkable that any other method is practiced. We are convinced that this is the most satisfactory method of cleaning a pasture of ticks and that it would still be most economical and best if the pasture were left vacant during an entire year, but this is not necessary, it having been proved that from September 1 to May 1, when there is least value in the pasturage, is ample to starve out the ticks. The most valuable pasture months—May, June, July and August—may still be used and the pastures cleaned in one year. But both because those in authority have not urged this method sufficiently and because of the peculiar perversity of human nature, which makes us ever ready to "strain at a gnat and swallow a camel," we refuse to give up our pastures, and expend three times as much as these pastures are worth in greasing and dipping cattle, saying nothing of the injury done to the cattle by the application of substances necessary to kill the ticks. If a man has two pastures, or can divide his one pasture into two parts, the ticks can be removed in two seasons with very little loss of pasturage. If the number of cattle be reduced, by sale, September 1, and one-half the pasture vacated, it will be free of ticks May 1, when the cattle may be divided and one-half of them cleaned of ticks and put on the clean portion of the pasture. On September 1 the cattle may again be reduced in numbers by sale and the infected half of the pasture kept free of cattle, horses and mules until the first of the following May, when the entire pasture will be free of ticks. Of course, care must be taken to prevent reinfestation of the pastures, but since the pastures are only re-infested by cattle, horses or mules carrying the ticks back to them, the matter of preventing reinfestation is a simple one. The methods of eradicating ticks which seem to appeal most forcibly to the average man are those involving the application of materials to the cattle, to kill the ticks, while the cattle are constantly running on the infested pastures. From the facts stated in previous articles, it is apparent that all that is necessary to eradicate the ticks by these methods is to apply something, that will kill the ticks sufficiently often to prevent any ticks maturing on the cattle and dropping on the pastures. If this is effectually carried out the ticks will as certainly be killed out and in the same length of time as, if the cattle were removed from the pastures. The two chief objections to these methods are first the expense and difficulty of applying materials to the cattle every two or three weeks for several months in such a manner as will insure the destruction of all the ticks, and, second, the injury done to the cattle. FROM THE PULPIT. The unique manner in which a portion of a Missouri county obtained good roads will be of especial interest in Georgia, with sentiment for that issue at floodtide. It is not often that, the aid of the pulpit, is invoked in the cause of highway improvement, but that agency has set Jefferson township, in Nodaway county; to unusual activity, according to the Kansas City Star. For several years Rev. Father F. P. Placid, pastor of the Catholic church at the Benedictine monastery, near Conception, Mo., preached to his people that the building of good roads constituted not only a civic, but a Christian duty. He pointed out, in a series of sermons that bad or impassable thoroughfares caused farmers to stay at home on Sundays, which militated strongly against the uniform observance of their religious duties. He did not, however, confine his efforts to oral argument. And this is how our contemporary describes the manner in which the monastery with which he was affiliated set the nearby farmers a practical object lesson: "The monastery owns a section of fine land and several fine draft horses. The fathers didn't purpose, to have their horses struggle, along bad roads every time they desired to drive to town or to market in the rainy season or just after a rain in any season. The fathers began by grading the road from the monastery, Old Conception, to Conception, or distance of three miles. Then they chained two pieces of railroad iron together, and after a rain they dragged the road several times. That was several years ago. They have kept it up consistently ever since. The result is a road as smooth as a boulevard. There have been heavy rains in that section for a week; the creeks and branches are out of their banks and it is not possible for a horse to wade through the mud in some sections of that county or township. It is different with the three miles of road leading from the monastery to Conception. The week's rain, the heaviest of the year, has had little effect on the road, and it is possible for a team of horses pulling a loaded wagon to trot along this superior thoroughfare." Such initiative on the part of the monastery had its logical effect upon the landowners of the surrounding territory. The roads are now dragged on an average of ten times a year, at a trifling expense after the first operation. The deadly rut has disappeared and from year's end to year's end the highways are passable to heavy loads hauled by one or two mules. The farmers view the movement as one of the best investments in their experience and the fever has spread to other sections of the county. Substantially, the interest of the clergy of Georgia in good roads is equal to that of the clergy of Missouri. Already many preachers of various denominations in this state have spoken a good word for the cruse that has so wonderfully inspired the industry of all classes of Georgians. Persistent agitation in this direction would not only exert a salutary influence on religious phases of community life; it would, as well, be reflected in commercial and Industrial aspects. And the preachers are citizens as well as—preachers.—Atlanta Constitution. General Farm Notes It is not true that tillage is manure, but it is true that a little manure with good tillage will give better results than heavy manuring and poor tillage. It is cheaper to keep the herd up all the time than to neglect it for a while and try later to bring it back to condition. The cow won't make up for lost time. To successfully train and manner a colt we must early gain its confidence and can only do that by kindness. Then patient persistence along definite lines will accomplish the desired result. When your bedroom is too warm all night for you to get any good sleep, how much do you feel like work next morning? Just so with your horse. Let him sleep in pure, cool air and profit thereby. Castrating is best done when the pigs are young and while still suckling their dam. Make the incision in the scrotum low enough for proper drainage and apply some antiseptic to keep the wound clean. Keep the pigs out of filth mud holes at this time, as infection may result. With feed high the dairyman must get more for the butterfat. The price is bound to advance. Cut off at any time, any sucker you may find growing at the foot of fruit trees or on the trunk or main limbs where branches should not go.

Next year the presidential election takes place and the colored voters of Georgia must be in evidence. It is with much pleasure that we have noticed announcements of the forty-fifth anniversary of Fisk University. This school has done on inexpressible amount of good for our people and her name has been praised from one end of the country to the other. It is one of the few Negro institutions which we have that stands exclusively for the highest literary training of the Negro and we heartily congratulate her upon the long and useful career which she has been able to enjoy. It is to be deplored that efforts are now on foot to divide the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in this country. The cause leading up to this movement is more earnestly deplored. As much as we resent some of the actions of the late B. M. C., and the attitude of some of the leaders, yet The Tribune always favors the settling of difficulties within the organization. No set of men can indefinitely have their way, especially if they are wrong, nor will they live always. Bide the time and settle differences within the ranks. A reform should be adopted by all of the churches, especially those churches where pastors and members are considered among the leading ones, in the matter of notices. It is indeed nauseating to listen to the many varied and extended notices. The church should not be made an advertising rostrum. Those who attend the services for the benefit thereof generally come away with a different feeling caused by these announcements. Only short notices pertaining to church services should be given and even those should be placed on a suitable bulletin where they can be readily seen. Cause the house of the Lord to be one of worship and not of advertisements. The proposed restricted measures of the Dominion of Canada about the immigration into that country of the American Negro have been receiving much notoriety here of late and there seems to be a probability that they will soon be adopted. During the recent months there have been several instances of the Canadian authorities endeavoring to prevent Negroes from the States entering their country and taking up homesteads but for the most part their opposition has proven of no avail because the Negroes who were crossing the border came up to every requirement and as a consequence could not be turned back unless the immigration laws between this country and Canada were violated. Therefore, finding that their every demand was being fulfilled by the Negro immigrants and nothing could be done which would rightfully keep them out they decided to ask for a conference between representatives of that country and this at which this matter would be discussed and on last Wednesday at a meeting in Washington, D.C., a memorandum from the Canadian immigration authorities was presented indicating that the American Negro may be barred on the ground that he could not become adapted to the rigorous northern climate and consequently might become a public charge. This action on the part of the Canadian government is by no means a surprise, for this wave of race discrimination has long since been creeping upon our northern neighbors and the climax had to be reached sooner or later. But the grounds upon which this last objection is based are absolutely without reason for it has been proven that the Negro can endure as much cold as can the white man and the only cause that can be assigned for keeping the Negro out of Canada, is that same old race prejudice which is occasioning so much trouble in this country and which is threatened to keep all Negro soldiers of the British Empire from the coming coronation of King George of England. This, the latest evidence of this almost universal hatred of the Negro by the English speaking people, simply demonstrates how wide spread the prejudice against our people is but it is to be hoped that the United States will not become a party to this new legislation against us by accepting the proposed plans of the Canadian government. a Few Other Facts. Judging from the evident zeal and enthusiasm manifested throughout the city by the people, and especially the young ladies of the different chuches, it appears that Charity Hospital is going to enjoy results of the biggest rally and greatest and most becoming recognition it has ever had. No church, no organization and no individual colored person old or young should lose the opportunity to make this a great and victorious effort. This tag day inauguration is the direct outcome of a ripe necessity. More room, a more substantial building, with modern conveniences for the comfort of the patients and facilities in treatment are the imperative needs. The waste of fuel in the effort to keep the dilapidated building warm and comfortable in winter, to save which, alone would in a few years be sufficient economy to build a decent building. In 1910, there were a hundred more patients cared for than were in 1909 at Charity Hospital. Already this year the growth is still increased. There were sixty-eight patients treated in March at Charity; with only twenty-four beds and a few improvised cots. Of this number about fifty per cent were city patients. The hospital gets an appropriation from the city of $75.00 per month. Any housekeeper can estimate how far that amount will go in feeding alone that number of patients not in cluding ten nurses; to say nothing of the dozen and one other current expenses, aggregating in all about $300.00 a month. It has been presumed and said by many who did not know or take the pains to learn, that the physicians were the only ones benefited by the maintenance of the Charity Hospital. Here are some facts to the contrary: At no time since the existence of the hospital, has there been a compensation to any one except salary to the head nurse and one dollar to undergraduate-nurses with their uniform. The Superintendent with his staff, comprising both it and the faculty of the nurse training department, in which they instruct the students in this department also treats medically and surgically all the poor and indigent city patients without price and have since the foundation of the institution. The only compensation they receive for that and the management direct, is that they, when they have their private cases who are任能 to pay and in need of hospital service, have a place to carry; no other place being open to the colored physicians in Savannah. Now there is no good reason why Savannah, with about forty-five thousand colored population should not have a handsome commodious hospital with modern and convenient equipment complete to meet the demands of this large and growing population of colored people who are susceptible to the poverty and diseases of all other races. Charity Hospital is and has been since its foundation, one of the most necessary and useful institutions in our midst. No one understands the signal need of a community for a hospital more than the clergy, this they have recognized fully. This movement they are giving impetus and full cooperation. It is hoped that every person who learns of this movement will feel it his personal duty to contribute substantially. There are three beautiful and useful prizes that will be awarded to the contestants selling the highest number of tags above two hundred. The prizes can be seen on exhibition at J. and C. N. Thomas, 22 W Broughton street. All participants will be expected to make complete returns by the 15th of May, through the ministers or the ones giving out the tags A. C. E. U. L. At St. James A. M.

Those that spoke on the topic were Messrs. C. L Peterson, H. Clarke, Jesse Brinson, H. C. Jones, S. F. Vanderhost, Prof. B. S. Reed, Rev Perry, Then Mrs. R. M. McDonald read an excellent paper on observance of the Sabbath. The duet which was next on the program by Mrs. P. <G Jones and Miss Mamie Bostick was well rendered. After which a paper read by Mr. Henry Clark subject "Obedience." The duet by Miss Pearl Miller and Essie Hannah was a gem. Then there was a solo by Miss Annie Smith. Then a splendid paper was read by Miss Pearl Miller. The solo by Miss Silive Moultrie held the congregation in perfect rapture. Next a recitation was well rendered by Miss Lou Alice McCrady. Next was a selection by St. James choir. The next and last on program was a chorus by St. Philip League choir which again held its hearers in ecstasy. Pastors of the various churches were in attendance. The League adjourned to meet at Monumental Church, the third Sunday in May at 4:45 p. m. Signed W. O. P Sherman, president; Miss Ada Oliver, secretary; Jesse Brinson, reporter. Evangelical Ministers Union. At St. Paul C. M. E. Church, the Evangelical Ministers Union met with Dr. P. W.

Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church. The services on last Sunday morning were well attended. The pastor preached a powerful sermon. He laid great stress on the material church and spiritual church, the difference between the two. At the close of the service the Rev. Skipwith sang several of his evangelistic hymns and several persons came forward for prayer. The revival meetings have been going on, and have been a success. On tomorrow afternoon there will be a special service for men only they will be addressed by Rev. Skipwith. Visitors and strangers are always welcome. Monday night is the regular conference of the church. Beth-Eden Dots. At 11 o'clock the pastor preached and at night Dr. P. James Bryant of Atlanta preached to the delight of an audience that filled the church. On Monday night Dr. Bryant lectured on his recent trip to the "Holy Land." It was one of the most instructive lectures ever delivered in Savannah and was enjoyed by the vast throng that turned out to hear it. Tomorrow is "Rally Day" at our church and the sermon of the occasion will be preached at 3:30 p. m., by Dr. W. L. Pickard of the First (white) Baptist Church. The clubs will report at the close of the night service. All of our friends are invited to come out and hear Dr. Pickard. First Congregational Church. On last Sunday the services were unusually interesting. In the morning instead of a sermon, Rev. Cash delivered an address upon the history of the English Bible and it proved of much interest and value. The address was in keeping with the three hundredth anniversary of the English bible which was being celebrated by all of the Congregational churches throughout America and England. In the evening the church was addressed by Miss Helen Pendleton, secretary of the Associated Charities of the city. She gave a very interesting talk and her remarks were very much appreciated. The church is endeavoring to raise quite a deal of money to defray the expenses of putting in new pews which will soon be installed and it is hoped that every member will do his best toward meeting his end of the expenses. F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. The weather on Sunday was ideal and every available space in the church was crowded during every service. Rev. P. J. Bryant, pastor of Wheat street Baptist Church in Atlanta, Ga., officiated. He read for the lesson Matt. 3:1-18. His text was from Matt. 3:10. So rich and eloquent, so filled with beautiful thoughts, illustrations and good advices was his sermon that will furnish food for thought during many months to come. We were all certainly pleased. The choir sang "Ye saints address His throne." A large number of candidates were baptized by Rev. Wright. The communion was largely attended. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 11:1-8. The honored guest was the "Southern Eagle Aid and Social Club" Their history was read and Rev. Wright gave them a hearty welcome. His text from Ps. 10:4. Describing fully the wicked and their career during life and the punishment that they will receive unless they repent. His sermon was certainly touching. Everyone surely was benefitted by such a beautiful sermon. The choir sang "Far Away." Rev. Wright led the hymn "See in the vineyard." He pleadingly invited those who were not Christians to mercy seat. A large crowd bowed, prayer was offered. The club donated to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. With Mrs. J. C. Woodruff as christier and Mrs. E. R. Dennis organist the choir certainly renders very sweet music. Our revival is still going on and you are cordially invited to attend. St. Benedict's Church.

A precious one from us has gone, A voice we love is still A place is vacant in our home, That we cannot fill. God in his wisdom has recalled, The boon his love has given And though the body slumbers here, The soul is at rest in heaven. Remembrance of, Nora P. Watson, Belle Payne. In memory of my grandson, RALPH EDWARDS, who entered into rest March 23, 1908. Child of my heart, I love thee dear, Tear more than all around me heal And to my soul it brings great joy, To know thou art blest my darling boy. But despite thy soul's forever blest, And that thou st' won eternal rest My heart repines and sorrows when I think of what you might have been. O, may thy soul in realms on high, Far up above the azured sky Far up above this sinful sod, Forever rest in peace with God. Loving grandmother. In memory of my husband, WILLIAM EDWARDS, who entered into rest April 25, 1903 Companion of my brightest days In memory deep I hold thee; And in the dark and weary ways Of life, thy love consoles me. O, life is dark and cold and drear, And fraught with great commotion, But in this wilderness of fear I dream of thy devotion. O, may I meet thee on the shore Of God's eternal glory, Where I in peace forevermore May tell the old old story. Devoted wife, Father is dead and gone home to rest, And we are left to mourn and weep, Tired and worn the Lord thought best to take Thee home to rest and sleep. For many years you faithfully worked Ere your faithful course was run, Nor ever by thee was duty shirked Nor ere was love's task left undone. And all these years thou hast ever stood Like one who watches upon the tower Looking ever for thy children's good, Ever at thy post from hour to hour. But now you sleep free from all pain And we who mourn are left in tears, But we would not call thee back To this sad vale of tears. For we well know thou has gone, To that bright world above That thou must wait for us to join Thee in that land of love. Sleep father sleep, sweet be thy rest, Thy pilgrimage on earth is over, Thy tired hands folded on thy breast At peace and rest forevermore. Wife and Children. SAKAH A. ROUNDFIELD, How sweet to us was her parting smile With love gleaming forth from her eyes Lo what death took her by the hand of faith talm. And quickly sped from earth away. All cold and still our loved one lies And dark, yes dark is our home today But with a smile she seemed to say, Oh think of life and hope and love. So let us hearten to this loving voice And rise above our grief today And turn away our thought from death For our loved one's safe with God above above. Now let the beauty of each day Hold in our souls its perfect sway, Lest its dark shadow prove a cross Minding us ever of our loss. REBECCA. L.

Fashion Notes Of Interest to Our Women The old patterns but new textures are being exploited in brocades for spring. These are so supple that they form exquisite drapery in wraps and gowns. The colors are lovely, and even an iridescent effect is given to many. These materials are used for trimming dresses of transparent goods, such as a band around the skirt, an edging for corsage and sleeves, sashes of the soft fabric and even slippers of brocade. Hats covered with brocade are excellent for early spring before you decide on a straw shape. They are light weight, can be of any shade desired and the shape can be decided by you before covering the frame. For bridesmales this type of hat is extremely modish. Little bags of brocade silk are carded by many women in the evening. ided by many women in the evening. One commendable feature of broaches is that the design can be used as a background for headwork. The lower forms can be outlined or worked in solid beads; the touch of gold or silver thread can be added in outline stitch here and there. Innumerable are the suggestions for the use of brocade. From trimmings to entire rows there is wide scope, and any clever effort cannot but meet with success. FINE MILLINERY FOR MODERATE PURSES. In order to bring within reach of the average woman the styles and manacles of the smartest foreign millers, whose prices only the rich can consider, a large firm of feather and plume importers on Thirty-fourth street, not far from Fifth avenue, has hit upon a novel plan. In a luxuriously appointed exhibition room it has set out a great variety of the very latest creations and all that pertains to the making of the daintest feminine headgear arranged in such a way as to allow any visitor to make a careful,isurely examination, assisted by a trained demonstrator instructed to give advice as to suitable selections rather than to induce purchases. A shape having been chosen, attention can then be given to the accessories of the model hat—so much for a plume or feather, so much for so many yards of ribbon, the cost of straw cloth and silk facing, trimming, etc.—until the whole scheme of hat making is unfolded—astonishing, bewildering to the unlitated, for the sum total of cost hardly approaches one-half the toil generally exacted by the sprightly madame in the gilded establishment with the French name. NEWEST EVENING FROCKS. From London comes the idea of the newest evening frocks. They have broken all records this year, for the decollete gowns are practically without backs, so narrow is the line of the bodice seen at each side. A favorite style is the deep V-opening, the point of the V not finishing until it reaches the waist. Another style is to FOR THE INVALID. An acceptable gift for the invalid is a white canton flannel cover for the hot water bag. Sometimes they are simply large bags with cotton tape drawstrings in which the rubber bags can be incased. A daintly embroidered white handkerchief linen pillow cover to slip over a small pillow of hops, pine needles or down is a welcome addition to the invalid's store of comforts. This could be embroidered simply in white, and if ribbon decorations are desired they should be small bows of wash ribbon; for anything that cannot be freely laundered is out of place in the invalid's room. Short tapes should fasten the slip cover on the pillow. Buttons are not so secure and, besides, they are lumpy. The following dressing sacque to slip on for extra warmth or for dalty appearance is the simplest and easiest kind for the invalid to adjust and wear. It can be made in many varieties of materials—heavy elderdown, outing flannel, French flannel or fennelette, wash silk of many kinds, muslin, dimity or lawn, and silk or cotton crane. To make it cut a piece of the desired material about a yard square. Cut an opening from one point to the center of the square. In the center cut out a circle seven or eight inches in diameter for the neck. The straight edges can be neatly hemmed, the blas edges and the neck opening faced with the same material or all the edges can be bound with wash ribbon. An especially 'dainty garment for cold weather wear might be made of pale pink elderdown with white ribbon. The sack is worn with one point over each arm, one in the back and the opened point fastening in front. have the corsage cut U-shaped, displaying the minimum of bodice and maximum of back. With these gowns the decolletage in front is proportionately low, and in many cases not a vestige of sleeve is to be seen. As gloves are very often discarded, the result is quite startling. One of the favorite decorations of some of the new evening frocks is a simple huge rose of plant, sheeny velvet. This is big enough to cover the front of the corsage completely and repeat the colorings of the gown. BLACK AND WHITE PETTICOAT. An attractive garment of black and white striped chiffon taffeta has a flounce of stripes of black Venetian lace sewed together lengthwise, the broadened effect at the bottom being obtained by small triangular shaped pieces of the silk inserted between the lace. A ruche of pinked black taffeta gave the desired finishing touch. One odd-looking petticoat for the girl who goes for fads was a peculiar shimmery shade of green like the sheen on natural coque feathers. At intervals in the flounce were hand embroidered chanticles in red and green. Among the prettiest, and what promises to be the most popular styles that have lately come into vogue are sun-pleated petticoats. The sun-pleats are quite broad at the bottom, graduating to plainness just below the hips. Messalline or crepe are the favorite materials, and for the lingerie dress there are models in China and Japanese silk. A wreath of woven-in flowers or a conventional border, in the favorite color, or a shade to match or contrast with the gown is one of the attractive possibilities of the sunpleated skirt. It is snug, clinging and comfortable and with its tiny silk, chiffon or lace ruche around the bottom, it cannot fail to occupy a prominent place in the summer girl's wardrobe. ELABORATE NEW HOSIERY. The newest hoslery shows many charming effects. Stockings beaded across the instep and up the ankles are perhaps the most novel, while others embroidered in vinelike designs appear more graceful than those with the pattern scattered indiscriminately in an all-over or loose pattern. A design describing a circle just above the instep is new, and there are innumerable drop-stitch weaves. The colors are unusually varied and can be found to match any gown. Some are of a most beautiful changeable effect in silk, while others are so closely embroidered that they have a two-toned effect without being actually woven in that way. Plain stockings of lisle, silk or gauze, still hold their popularity with women of conservative taste for all except elaborate occasions or for home use with dainty house gowns or lounging robes. Ribbons can be fastened on the four straight edges, about ten inches from the sleeve points, to tie under the arms. Among the appropriate things in the shops for the invalid are flower holders. These can be fastened to the foot of the bed and are large enough to hold three or four carnations or roses, generally all that are to be allowed in the sickroom. Another acceptable gift is a dainty piece of china—a flower bordered plate, a gruek bowl of eggshell thinness, or a fragile cup and saucer of delicate design. Never mind if these things are likely to break with their first tumble; because of their beauty they will give enough pleasure, perhaps real benefit to make their possible short existence well worth while—Lucile Daudet. Buttermilk Salmon. Baked Can Salmon With Butter milk. One can salmon, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls melted butter or cot tolene, one cup buttermilk with one half teaspoonful soda stirred into it Salt and pepper to taste; one-half cupful corn meal and two soda crackers crumbled down. Mix all to gether, put in greased pudding dish and bake half an hour. This is a delicious dish and as light as a feather Enough for five people. Carrot Conserve. Wash and scrape half dozen firm carrots, put through meat chopper and cut as small as peas. Bofl half hour in slightly salted water, then drain, and to each pint add two cups of light brown sugar and the juice and half the grated rind of one lemon. Cook slowly until clear, about 1½ hours. This is an agreeable novelty with a decided foreign flavor. A NEW SOLUTION FOR THE RACE PROBLEM It remained for Secretary of War J. M. Dickinson in a speech before the Southern Commercial congress to offer another to the many methods already proposed for the solution of the race problem. President Taft, Col. Roosevelt and others during the week of the congress made direct reference to the Negroes, presence in the south and they followed in the well worn ruts of character building and industrial education. Mr. Dickinson did not travel so well frequented a path but came forward with a suggestion not often made. His words of warning against mobs and his characterization of the mob as the worst criminal in the south—his repugnance to the criminal black or white, raplist or otherwise, expressed in strong and clear terms left none in doubt as to his position. Speaking of the Negro the honorable secretary of war thought that the mass of young Negroes who would be intelligent and self respecting would voluntarily offer to go to some country under the protection of the United States but apart. Continuing along this line he said: "When they grow in wealth and education, and still find themselves confined in their aspirations by insurmountable barriers which bar their social and political progress and deny them the opportunities of citizenship open to all others, an ambition to free themselves from such conditions may, if sustained by a liberal governmental policy, lead to such a movement." This be thinks would solve the vexed problem. Do you agree with the learned secretary? If the progressive Negroes go of their own accord what will become of the nonprogressive, the shiftless and vagrant class? Now here is the real problem. If given a man's chance, and what other should be expected in these United States with our boasted constitution, the young Negroes of the better class above mentioned will solve their own problem. Say what you may, but it needs only a little study to know that this progressive, restless and aspiring class is the salvation of the race and a sort of safety valve for the country's race problem. They are the ones who hold the vicious and irresponsible in check. 'Tis true they are most often criticised and slandered for their ambition but with them out of the country the white south would have its hands full of the insolent and worthless. Of course they may go somewhere some day, but when they go Oliver Goldsmith's deserted village will have a counterpart not far away. Where will this Negro Protectorate be established? How will it be governed? Will the white American let us alone in it? Questions like these are in order. Why not permit this aspiring class of Negroes to work out their future right here as individuals? Every Negro who can buy property should find it possible to do so. Every Negro who desires an education should be greeted by an open school room. Every Negro who can qualify under the law should be encouraged to register and vote. An open door is all any American demands and this the Negro expects.—Star of Zion. RESOLUTIONS FOR ANY DAY OF ANY YEAR RESOLUTIONS FOR For the well that they may keep well!

The Surest Known. "Say, pa, what is an endurance test?" "Living in the suburbs, my son."—Harper's Bazar. Says'a contemporary in Current Literature: "Mexico may not go the way of Texas in our day, but it must become United States territory before the end of the century." Here we have another evidence of the insatiable cupidity of the Anglo-Saxon. His right is ever "right of might"—he comes, he sees, he conquers. It will indeed be a sad day for the darker races when he is in a position to make this prophecy a realization, for wherever he goes he takes his hydra-headed monster of prejudice with him. At Harvard university, some ten years ago, there were about a thousand Cubans brought here by the government to take courses in English. When these people first came, they apparently knew nothing of any such thing as color distinctions, but they had hardly been here a month before the white people of Cambridge had impressed on their minds the fact that the blacker ones among them ought not to be treated as were the others. There is no virtue in the color of the skin, however anxious the pale brother may be to have the world accept the assurance to the contrary—black men have won too many triumphs in the study and the workshop by the side of the so-called favored race to render tenable any such proposition. Here's hoping that Mexico will continue to be Mexico "forever and a day." I would be a peculiar turn of fate indeed, if the feud between William O'Brien and John Redmond in the house of commons indirectly led to the extinction of the house of lords. The Irish have suffered much at the hands of the English. Just as true as Holy Writ is the law which penalizes a nation for the deliberate oppression of a weaker one. Sclpfo gazing on the ruin of ravaged Carthage, remarked sadly: "The day will come when thou too, Imperial Troy, must bend; while Spear-bearing Priam, and the territory over which he rules, must perish all." Says the Buffalo Express: "The appeal to Europe, signed by 32 negro Americans, recites the long and familiar list of negro wrongs—political disfranchisement, the denial of education in some states, the discriminations in public places, the forcing into menial occupations, the hostility of trades unions, the attempts at segregation laws, the insults to negro women, etc." "The fact that this is an appeal to Europe against the people of the United States will arouse fresh antagonism to the negro in some quarters, but on the whole it will do good. For shame's sake, if not for that of justice, it may arouse us to do our duty. The opinion of the civilized world must have some effect on the most calloused American official conscience, and it is our governing class, our men and women of light and leading, that need to be aroused on this question." Now listen to this reader, from another contemporary, the Raleigh News: "It is hard to tell which is the worst enemy of the negro race, the brute who incites lynching by the basest of crimes, or the social-equality-hunting fellow who slanders his country. Fortunately for the peaceable and industrious negroes in the south, the world does not judge them by either, and helps them and is in sympathy with their efforts to better their condition." There is evidently the same wide divergence of opinion among our white conferences as among ourselves as to "which is what." Says yet another: "There are obstacles in the path of the Afro-American, even the most intelligent and aspiring, of which the meanest white man can hardly form an adequate conception; the only thing the negro can do is to make the best of hard conditions, and do his utmost by his individual achievements to make the handicap of his color forgotten." It is a pleasure to quote the following from a little pamphlet called "Race Prejudice," by Melville E. Stone, who recently addressed the Quill club at New York on that subject. He asks: "How long will the 6,000 soldiers we have in the Philippines be able to keep our flag afloat among the 8,000,000 natives? How long will the 75,000 English soldiers in India be able to maintain British sovereignty over 300,000,000 of Asians? I would not be an alarmist, and yet I would have feel that Macaulay's suggestion of the New Zealander on a broken arch of London bridge, sketching the ruins of St. Paul, has come to be more than a extravagant figure of speech. And I am convinced that there is real danger awaiting us unless we mend our ways. It is not the Asian who needs educating; it is the European. I am not worrying half so much about the heathen in his blindness as I am about the Christian in his blindness." "We shall never meet the problems growing out of our relation with the far east unless we, once for all, put away race prejudice. I believe the European snob in Asia is distinctly the enemy of the civilized west. And this coadjutor in this country is a fitting criminal-jew-fellow." "From Bombay to Yokohama there is not a social club at any port or treaty where a native, whatever his culture or refinement, will be admitted." "The beating of native servants and work- men in India, is a daily and hourly occurrence. It was formerly so at Hong-Kong and Shanghai, but Mr. Sprague, the representative of the Standard Oil company told me that, since the Russo-Japanese war, the natives would not stand it, and that all beating of them by Europeans had ceased." Continuing the writer says: "They are all saying to us: Stop cheating us, stop swindling us, stop your treating us as your inferiors; who are to be beaten and robbed." Japan is crying out, "Treat us fairly and we will go more than half way. Leave to us the question whether Japanese laborers shall go to America to annoy you, and we will stop them. But do not say that you will admit the lazaroni of Italy and Hungary and Russia, simply because they are white, and shut us out because we are yellow." "In smug complacency you may close your doors which look toward Asia, while you open wide those which look toward Europe; you may refuse the Oriental admission to your schools, while you accord the privilege to the child of the European; you may pile import duties mountain high, and raise our standard of living to any pitch of extravagance; you may build warships without limit, and you may continue to treat the Asian as legitimate prey—but I am confident that it will not avail. 'As a soldier at Omdurman, in the Soudan, or on 203 metre hill, at Port Arthur, Petersburg and San Juan, the man of color has shown himself a right good fighting man; in commerce he has, by his industry, perseverance, ingenuity and frugality, given us pause; and before the eternal throne his temporal and his spiritual welfare are worth as much as yours, or mine." THE NEGRO OR THE FOREIGNER FOR THE SOUTH? The unrestricted coming of immigrants into America keeps down the wage standard and the standard of living for the American laborer, and imperils the condition of employment. It is also startling to be told that 35 per cent. of those who come to our shores are illiterate as compared with less than 3 per cent. of the old immigrant class. We are raising money to convert the far away heathen—when the far away heathen—untutored, uncultivated, unwashed, unsaved—are coming in focks to our country. There were 1,041,000 allens, representing forty races, that came into America during the last year. At this rate imagine how many have rolled in upon America through the past years. Of the 92,000,000 people in the United States 41,000,000 are either immigrants or born of foreign parentage, leaving only 41,000,000 whites born of native white parents. The 10,000,000 Negroes give the numerical dominance in America of people who are not white people of American parentage. There are about 3,000,000 foreigners now in the south, and 50,000 came here last year; a large majority of these foreigners are ignorant, and only a few are members of a Christian denomination. If they are not Christianized they will heathenize the south. Let the foreigners come into the south in large numbers and the white people of this southland will have more than a Negro problem on their hands. If the foreigner comes in large numbers in the south the Negro will leave. This the southern people do not want in a sense, for they cannot use the foreigner in their business as a servant like they can the Negro. So they really prefer the Negro to the foreigner as a laborer.—Memphis (Tenn.) News. Testing an Egg. "Really, Jane," remonstrated her mistresses "you must learn to be more careful and test the eggs before you mix them in the pudding! Now, a good way of testing is to take an egg in your hand, swing it around a few times and then place it to your ear. If it gives out a pleasant, murmuring sound you may then be quite sure that it is fresh and good." Like a dulful cook Jane promised in future to obey her mistress' instructions, and that same night there was hot baked custard for dinner. At least there was to have been hot baked custard. But at the crucial moment Jane appeared upon the scene with nothing to show but a tearstained face. "Well, Jane," anxiously inquired her mistress. "Please, mum," gasped the saddened servant "there's a little something gone wrong. I was a-testin' the egg, as you told me, and a-swingin' it round, when it slipped out of my hand, and blessed if it didn't biff the police man in the eye as he was watchin' me through the window. An' please mum," concluded the cook, breaking down utterly, "I think it was a good egg, too, for I listened and I heard a murmurin'—oh, quite a loud murmurin', mum!"—Tit-Bits.

POETRY of and by Our People Words are lighter than the cloud foam Of the restless ocean spray, Vather than the trembling shadow That the next hour steals away. By the fall of summer rain drops Is the air as deeply stirred; And the rose leaf that we tread on Will outlive a word. Yet, on the dull silence breaking Wifft a lightning flash, a word, Bearing endless desolation On its bightling wings, I heard; Earth can forge no keener weapon, Dealing surer death and pain, And the cruel echo answered Through long years, again. I have known one word hang star-like O'er a dreary waste of years. And it only shone the brighter Looked as through a mist of tears; While a weary wanderer gathered Hope and heart on life's dark way, By its faithful promise shining Clearer day by day. I have known a spirit, calmer, Than the chinest lake, and clear As the heavens that gazed upon it, With no wave of hope or ear; But a storm had swept across it, And its deepest depths were stirred (Never, never more to slumber), Only by a word. I have known a word more gentle, Than the breath of summer air; In a listening heart it nestled, And it lived forever there. Not the beating of its prison Stirred it ever, night or day. Only with the heart's last throbbing Could it tade away. Words are mighty, words are living Serpents with their venomous stings, Or bright angels crowding round us, With heaven's light upon their wings! Every word has its own spirit, True or false, that never dies; Every word man's lips have uttered Echoes in God's skies. OH. STRONG DESIRESI Oh, strong desires that hurt the heart With useless strife of blunted wings, I weary of your travelings, Why must you always surge and start When I am nearest happiness? Across the freedom of the sky Like dazzling phantom gods you fly, And seeing you my joy is less. When sometimes by an April brook, Beneath the birch buds I kneel, And, almost turned a dryad, feel The thrill of that green life which shook Old woodlands that the Hellenes knew— When every breath is rare and good, There sweeps a shudder down the wood— Wild-hearted wonders pierce me through. Or when beside the hearth I file And listen to the liquid flame, Whole tone I love most speaks my name And in that peace my dreams all die— Then from the shadow-pools beyond Our small red-circled joy, there leap Tall shapes, fantastical as sleep. To call us mortal, helpless, fond; And blind my eyes with yisions—vain, Enormous, never known on earth— A longing for immortal mirth That mortal lips may never stain. Oh strong desires! Oh wortless wings! Star-reachings, heaven-fallings, why Will you remind me I must die To taste the utmost joyful things? -Fannie Stearns Davis, in Harper's Magazine. A SONG OF GLADNESS.

Almost every speaker expressed the Giislon bat the brutal attack made @n‘Booker T. Washington had done more to bring the race together than any other incident in many years; that negroes of the north, east, south and west, Irrespective of religious be- lief, political affiliations and opinions on educational matters, etc, bad shown thelr great loyalty for the race by forgetting all difference and presenting ‘a solid phalanx in extend- ing their sympathy to the natton's leading negro and one of its most prominent citizens.

A proof of my statement Is that the negroes, in Georgia alone, have beautiful homes, own farms, live stock, some of the most valuable school and church property and pay taxes on a grand total of $28,000,000 worth of property annually. This Is a spiendid showing for a race that set out but yesterday; and yet this Is nothing about which we can afford to boast. Our struggles for the future are far greater than any we have wit- nessed in the past. “The leadership of a race like ours, whose school advantages have been 60 imited, make the whole fabric the more difficult, and yet we are making rapld headway, and when practical ed- ucation and a decent home life among the masses and a commonsense pulpit ta every community shall have had a chance, it bas not yet appeared what we shall be. “{ want to commend with all my heart the managers of this club that may mean so much to the youth of the negro race in Savannah, “Tm thé last few months I have tray- eled extensively In Oklahoma, Arkan- sas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ala- bama and South Carolina and I know what {t means to have a capable, un- selfish class of men to direct our peo- Jackson's Wife at Dalton. |, Dalton, Ga—(Speclal.)—The wife ‘of Peter Jackson, one of the world’ greatest pugilists, paid a visit tc Cleyeland, Tenn., near this city a short time ago. The young woman fs a de scendant of slaves belonging to the Hardwick family, of Bradley county, and when she appeared at the resl dence of Mrs, C. L. Hardwick she ex plained that she just wantedsto stop over and see her home town and find out all about her “folks.” Jackson's wife had on elegant clothing and wore many trophies won by the big fight er. She was on her way west to join Jackson, he having arrived from Aue- tralia. 3 The Latest News, Two of the larger newsboys were about to settle thelr difficulty by the test of physical endurance. No officer being in sight, a ring was quickly formed. Just as hostilities were about to begin a younger dealer tn newspapers improved his oppdrtun!- ty by shouting to the gathering pass- ersby: “Latest papers; get the big fight extra.” He caught many sales-Boston Cutting Profits. “Where did you get your fur over coat, doctor?” asked one of his pa tlents. “I got this when Mr. Burrows bad appendicitis,” the doctor replied. WHERE ARE OUR GIRLS TO GET HUSBANDS 2 On hearing a speech mad py one oF the prominent colored doctors of this city, my mind has been- haunted by. those facts he uttered, ever since. He spoke\on the scarcity of Negro hus- bands for Negro girls, and brought out some interesting and acute facts that should be given due and just consider- ation by every Negro- boy and girl- The doctér exemplified the refined wife with the unpolished husband, the lack of interest taken by young men in social affairs, where the intermin- gling of the two sexes were required. Also, he spoke of the girl who fe tlassed high, that associates with the young man‘ who has been ostracised! from soclety circles for some immoral! act, then being an associate of our best girls. The doctor made some timely remarks. The girl, on a whole, is being edu- cated and trained for the various es- sentials of life, while the boy with the same chances, is neglecting his. In the many colleges and public schools of the United States for Ne- groes, the girl outnumbers the boy al~ most 8 to 1. The boy of today varies greatly from those of yesterday. He ts no longer the chaste and almost unde- filed being of the past, but his senses have turned (just a few good ones) to rowdiness, bad assoclates, unclean habits, that are shortening his life, ruining him morally, mentally and physiesily. What sort of a husband would one of these inert, insignificant beings make for a husband for ode of our best girls? This grave question stares everyone In the face, Today we see boys’ who should be in school, lounging around saloons, pool halls, roving the slums and at- taching themselves to the very worst habits. What sort of husbands will they be? There should be as much interest: taken in the boy as there is in the girl, for in thelr union the outcome- may be regretted. We should use ev- ery effort {n persuading the young: man to toe the mark, socially with the girl, for social intermingling will be one of the primary factors In alding the young man to realize the required qualities to enter upon marriage life. It does not take the seer to see the: outcome of this murky social condi- tlon that Is now existing. We must. spring a remedy or the worst ‘will re- main at hand.—Palestine.(Tex:) Plain~ deater, THE -JAMAIGA NEGRO It fs noteworthy that the colored people who comes to the United, States from Jamalca, almost without exception, are very intelligent, so far as the*book goes. It ts well known that in the Island of Jamaica the ne- groes are provided with first-class schools, that they suffer under little or no raclal discrimination. Since they have good school facilities, equal civil and political rights with the white man, why Js ft that they leave a country where they enjoy the same opportunity to get an education that. ‘the white man enjoys, and the same opportunity to use all the convenfences of travel, hotel accommodations, ete... without discrimination? : Under these clreumstances, we dsic why do the negroes every year come to the United States in so large num- bers from Jamaica, and why !s it that those who do come to America fall to. return except in rare cases? The an- swer, in our opinion, is easy: Along with education, civil and politleat rights there must go economic and in- dustrial development such as the ne~ grd in Jamatca 18 not surrounded by- ‘The negro In the United States labors under disadvantages, but the advan- tage that he enjoys in the way of economic opportunity and in the way of industrial and technical education overbalances his disadvantages ta such a degree that the negroés leave a country where they enjoy all the: other privileges that some of our peo~ ple talk a good deal about in this country and come to a country where the negro has the highest opportu- nity to economic development and upf todate education, including industriat and technical training.

J th * - 8 SHER KNOWLEDGE WAS SMALL Aalden Greatly Interested In-Mecham t Ics, but She Knew Little About 4 a Boat. " She had just graduated from the “high school and Harold, who had tfallen before her charms, not the fleast of which to him was her in- ‘terest in mechanics, was laying con- stant-siege. As soon as his new mo- itor boat was launched he forthwith §nvited Phyllis for a trial spin down ‘the Potomac. As she sat-beside him, ‘jauntily clad in a brand new yacht- ing suit, she turned upon the swain a rapid-fire battery of questions, ask- ing him everything imaginable about the boat and filling him with fond joy. At length her eye lit upon a circular life buoy fastened to the rail that ran around the stern. o“What’s that for, Harold?” she asked after gazing awhilé in deep study. “Thats in case of accident,” re- plied Harold. For a long ttme the maiden pon- dered in deep thought. Then her face lit up with a satisfied intelli- gence. “Q, I see now,” she exclaimed, beaming on Harold. “You were afraid you might have an accident while 1 was with you and brought along that extra tire like papa car- ries on the automobile. It was aw- fully thoughtful of you!” HOW CHICLE IS GATHERED Natives of Yucatan Collect the Chew. Ing Gum From the Lofty : Sapota Trees. * In Yucatan the gathering of the chicle chewing gumsis an industry that employs the services of consid- erable bands of natives known as “chicleros.” They go into the deep ‘forests, under experienced leaders, armed with heavy knives of special make and pails and ladles for the ‘sap, and each one is provided with ‘a strong rope, more than 80 feet Tong, to be used in climbing the ofty sapota trees from which the gum is procured. The sap flows from gashes cut in the bark. A camp of chicleros, where the sap is boiled, resembles in some respects an American maple su- gar'camp. After months of work the chicleros return from the forests laden with brick-like blocks of aro- matic gum. The finest gum is col- Tected from the fruit of the sapota, tmuostly by the native womex; and it is said that it is seldom exported, be- cause it is too well liked at home— Harper’s Weekly. PORTUGAL'S RAT CAMPAIGN. Rats appear to be thicker in Por- ‘tugal than in any other country in the world and the new government thas undertaken a campaign to drive rats out of that country.

Many of the lodges have pald no attention to the sending in of the annual re- ports and fees to the Grand Secretary.

So in age there comes to us the thought that altef, all death is a natural process for which, in God’s good way, we are being pre- pared, and then we fall Ilke autumn leaves to enrich our mother earth, and so, instead of dreading our de- parture, we patiently, hopefully wait the change—Bro. J. Thomas Pryor, Wisconsin. . 7 am Silisfied, however, that ther® Is a general, distinct, and increasing wave of feeling towards making Ma- sonry in this territory far more than a mere fraternal, social, and charltable ,organization. Much greater care is now being exercised in ascertaining @ candidate's character before adinit- ting him Within the porch, the re- proach that our social evenings gave the Me to the principles we profess ed, can but seldom now be made, and the number of young Masons who are not content with accepting Freema- sonry merely “as a peculfar system of morality velled in allegory and il- lustrated by symbols,” but who are proud to think of it as a means to- wards living a just and upright Ife, bound to others by the, cement of brotherly love, self-discipline and self- sacrifice, is a most hopeful sign for our future usefulness—Lord Plunkett, Grand Master, New Zealand. What Masonry Teaches. Masonry teaches men to think less selfishly of themselves and more for others; it shows them why they were sent into the world, and develops the instincts of benevlence and charity. ‘The fraternizing of men whose rellg- fous or political opinions may widely differ is a reformation which Freema- sonry largely promotes, and the in- fluence of which {fs incalculable. Man is a social being! it is right that after serlous work {a the lodge room, there should be that rational enjoyment which we call’ good-fellowship.—J. Ramsden Riley. The Harmony of Grace, Love is the greatest of all graces, but not to the exclusion of any grace. ‘Eaith,and obedience still have thelr worth, We do not despise the stars because the sun is in the sky with a radiance that swallows up thelr les- ser Nght; they are all there still. The diamond, most splendid of all gems, is sometimes set with other stones, and it adds to thelr beauty, So doe> love touch and beautify all other grae- es of body and mind with its lNght. Beauty is more beautiful, knowledgs more vital, and geniug more splendid when they have heart put into them Indeed other virtues can not flourish without it, Without love, faith be comes bigoted and intolerant, knowl ledge becomes cold and conceited, and hope becomes dreamy and im- practicable. The world cpuld do with- put philosophers, but not without lovers. We could spare all the or- ators, poets, artists and heroes bet- ‘sr than we could our mothers.
